It's possible to get Web Console into an unclosable state by starting it on a fresh about:blank page then visiting another page.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set your home page to about:blank then restart the browser.
2. Click Web Developer->Web Console (nothing happens).
3. Visit any page in the current blank tab (the page loads and a separator appears).
4. Drag the separator down and click the close button.

Actual Results:  
Nothing happens.

Expected Results:  
The web console should close.

This only seems to happen with a fresh about:blank tab, if you visit a site then go to about:blank the problem does not occur.

The patch in bug 587734 should hopefully fix this.
